We used to feed our dog Nutro, but she kept having soft stools, so we finally made the decision to switch her over to a homecooked diet. It's working really well so far -- she was beginning to get a little chubby on the Nutro, but since switching to homecooked, she's lost fat and gained muscle tone (even with less exercise because of the cold weather), her fur is softer and shinier, and her gas smells a LOT better. And her poo is tiny! It's not even that expensive to feed this way, maybe $10 a week?

We have two picky dogs! Right now, they are eating Kibbles and Chunks. The Bomber seems to be picky with taste, while Maggie is picky with consistency. She won't eat big pieces or real hard pieces. (don't know why...it's not a healthy issue...she has perfect teeth and no mouth problems) So far, this is one they both agree on. The pieces are a good size and softer.

buster has a pretty sensitive stomic. he is currently on nutro lamb and rice. and his poo is perfect. but i keep hearing how i could get a better food. what else is out there that is better and good for dogs with sensitive stomics? diamond gave him rocket power poo...

The pieces are probably about 1.25 - 1.5 mm. in diameter. So it is a larger chunck dry dog food. It is rice based, not corn. I get the performance, which is in a yellow bag for more active dogs. It is a higher protein, I think like 23 or 26% (memory fails me right now). I have my 1 year old Mastiff, 2 year old Pit Bull and 10 year old Rottie on it. All the dogs are doing well on it. I used to feed Iams, but they didn't like it.

I buy it from Sam's Club. It is about $19.00 for a 40lb. bag. Plus you can collect the UPC labels and send them in for a rebate of $2.00 per bag.
